the only way I know to unlock a used Predator is to send it back to Diablosport ???

And they won't even unlock it unless the factory tune has been loaded back into the car it came from.

If your Predator is model U7198 and shows rev. 2.13 at the opening screen, when you put your car back to stock the Predator can be used on another car. If you have the original receipt, Diablosport will install the latest revision in the Predator if the stock tune has been put back into your car.

I don't believe you have to send it back unless you did something out of the performance preset tune,( no incremental settings on your ,or tuners behalf) .If nothing other than performance upload you should be fine to sell w/ no problems. Just curious why are you selling I love mine.

You did reset your factory setting back using the programmer right? If not then it is unusable W/out returning to Diablo.
